Description

The separation method of a kind of metallicity and semi-conductive single-walled carbon nanotubes
Technical field
The present invention relates to the separation method of a kind of metallicity and semi-conductive single-walled carbon nanotubes, particularly relate to from Single Walled Carbon Nanotube, isolate clear and legiblely, the method for structure is single and electrical properties is stable Single Walled Carbon Nanotube.
Background technology
Lijima in 1991 finds that carbon nanotube is the C that continues 60The another great discovery that catches people's attention in carbon geochemistry field since the discovery.Carbon nanotube (carbon nanotubes is called for short CNTs) can be regarded curling seamless, the hollow tube that forms of Graphene lamella that six-ring is formed as, this particular structure feature makes it have special electrical properties and superpower mechanical property, demonstrates good prospects for application at aspects such as electron device, matrix material, hydrogen storage material, chemistry and biosensors.
It is exactly separating of CNTs that yet these researchs face a huge challenge with application.Because that the existing preparation technology obtains all is the polydisperse CNTs of structure and performance, the CNTs mixture of various structures and performance has limited its further research and application in fields such as molectronics and photoelectricities widely.
Single Walled Carbon Nanotube (single wall carbon nanotubes is called for short SWNTS) is to be made of individual layer cylinder shape graphite linings, and the distribution range of its diameter is little, and defective is few, has higher uniformity consistency.The electrical properties of Single Walled Carbon Nanotube is by its diameter and chiral angle decision.For semiconductor single-walled carbon, the variation that can be with is along with the change of diameter is opposite.And for metallicity and semiconducting nanotubes, the main optical transition that takes place vibrates along with diameter and chirality and changes.Single Walled Carbon Nanotube generates the metallicity and the semi-conductive single-walled carbon nanotubes of different lengths usually simultaneously in process of growth.The difference of Single Walled Carbon Nanotube attribute can cause the instability and the inefficient field mobility of electrology characteristic, and then causes the productive rate of high precision electron device to reduce.And the difference of length can cause different biological toxicity performances.
So, in order to realize that based on the application of Single Walled Carbon Nanotube electrology characteristic and the accurate protection of biological toxicity performance the most key task is to obtain length and the accurate controlled Single Walled Carbon Nanotube of attribute.Break through though indented material has obtained some, show in the energy growth phase feasible narrow chirality distribution Single Walled Carbon Nanotube formula.It is exactly separating of CNTs that yet these researchs face a huge challenge with application.Because that the existing preparation technology obtains all is structure and the performance CNTs that distribute more, the CNTs mixture of various structures and performance has limited its further research and application in fields such as molectronics and photoelectricities widely.
In order to break through this problem, adopted several different methods that carbon nanotubes grown is separated, such as, the atom electricity is led separation, and selective oxidation separates, electron puncture, ultracentrifuge separates and separates with the field flow instrument, chromatography is separated.Tanaka(Takeshi Tanaka wherein, Yasuko Urabe, Daisuke Nishide, Hiromichi Kataura1, Continuous Separation of Metallic and Semiconducting Carbon Nanotubes Using Agarose Gel, Applied Physics Express 2 (2009) 125002) it is the most close to adopt sepharose to isolate metal and nonmetallic Single Walled Carbon Nanotube and the inventive method principle in syringe.This method has been filled the high gel of 3-5cm in syringe, manually add moving phase.This method can only be carried out simple separation to a small amount of, lower concentration carbon nanotube.Syringe can not seal, moving phase can not continue, uninterruptedly, at the uniform velocity controlled adding.
In addition.Patent CN200610113211.1 adopts photoetching method to prepare gold electrode on silica containing substrate, utilizing focused ion beam to carve several gaps on electrode is immersed in the DMF solution of Single Walled Carbon Nanotube, in 2~8V, frequency is under the electric field action of 1~10Hz, with metallicity and semi-conductive single-walled carbon nanotubes separated in synchronization.
Among the patent CN200710159924.6, mainly carbon nanotube is dispersed in the medium through chemistry or biological method modification, adopts the carbon nanotube separation of sorbent material again particular modification.
Patent CN200910182678.5 adopts electrophoresis, the centrifugal or method freezing to push, the selection adsorptivity and the inrichment of separating with medium and metallicity or semiconductive carbon nano tube form semiconductive carbon nano tube and metallic carbon nanotubes enrichment region, realize separating of metallicity and semiconductive carbon nano tube.
If yet be amplified to industrial scale for these methods, on productive rate, purity, cost, all more or less there are some problems.
